In moments of crisis, worry, and fear, RMHC Bay Area and our community strive to keep families together and near lifesaving medical care.

We invite you to decorate your car, make signs, honk, wave, and drive by our Stanford House any time between 3pm-6pm. Together, we can show families with critically ill children that they are not alone.

Important Notes

  • To protect medically vulnerable children, face masks are required when driving by the house.
  • We are closely monitoring health and safety guidelines.
  • Please check back here Sunday morning at 10am or visit our Facebook Event Page for important updates, including any changes to official guidance from health and safety authorities.
